Add the peanut butter to a medium sized bowl and slowly add 2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time. Stir with a spatula until the water is fully incorporated and it forms a smooth paste.

Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and mix well. The sauce should be able to coat a spoon but also not too thick. You can always thin the sauce by adding a bit more water. You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Boil noodles according to instructions. Transfer cooked noodles into a colander, rinse with tap water to stop the cooking. Drain well and transfer to small serving bowls.

Serve the noodles with the sauce on the side with the toppings of your choice.

To eat, assemble your own bowl with any toppings you prefer, adding a few spoonfuls of the sauce. Mix and enjoy.

You can toss the noodles with the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. The sauce will thicken up a bit more in the fridge. You can gently warm up the noodles in the microwave, or mix the noodles with a bit of hot water to thin it out.
